Killing AillA a,urs tol a Living.

st. Louis Globe Democrat: Thomas
Newt. Of New Orleans, better known
in The south as ALLIGATOR Ton," is in
town and will remain a few days. Ne
witt is quite a we'll known character in
the south, where for twenty years he
has followed his peculiar occupation Of
killing alligators, earning a living by
selling their hide and meat. He was
originally a native Of Ohio. but moved
to the south at an early age, and has
since resided IN the vicinity Of New
Orleans. hewitt is now forty two years
Of age. but is as active as aver. and Is
never SO happy as when in pursuit of
his favorite game. He works from
New Orleans right along through Florl-
Ia. and kills aev-ral tundred alliga'ors
during the course Of "a season. he kills
the animals with u rifle. A great many
authorities have maintained that the
place to shoot an alligator is in
the eye, but hewitt claims not. He
says that if shot in this portion Of the
body All alligator will sink, and that
the wound will heal. The oil must
be directed to a point just back of the
fore leg, where tor an inch there is q
place unprotected by natural armor.
Very often hewitt picks up young ami
mails, which bring u ready market
The skins of alligators are now worth
from zoe to soc. and the chief sourc'
Of profit is from the sale of meat, whlcf
is said to be delicious. The tail is Gu,
off and then the body sliced in the
shape Of steaks. hewitt tells many
wonderful stories of his thrilling expt-
rience during hi. many years OF hunt
ing the scaly alligator.

A Hungarian Beauty Show.

American invention. 1t is not more
than a few weeks ago that such a
show occurred on the feast of st.
Stephen, the patron saint of Hungary,
At Pesth. But the beauties were not

one able to pay a dime. The beauties,
forty odd in number, were standing
in a circle to be looked at and cross.

number of gentlemen moving in the
highest circles of society.

| At page 217, same volume, the
deposition of Kumahana, son of
Peleioholani and grandson of the
more famous Kualii, king of Oahu,
is further referred to. Though
Kumohana had grown-up children
at the time" it is said, "yet the
Oahu chiefs passed them by in
choosing u successor to the throne
and fixed their eyes on yong Ka'
hahana, the son of Elani, one of the
powerful Eva chiefs, of the Maweke
Lallona line, and on his mother:
side closely related TO Kahekili ant
the Maui royal line. Kahahana haG

kahekili invaded and conquered
Oahu, where he reigned till hi
death, and that Kaneoneo, son o
the deposed monarch Kumahan'
perished in an abortive insurrectol
against the conqueror. Kahekil
was the reputed father OF Kameha

AN HISTORICAL PRECEDENT.

History shows that the Hawaiian
race is very tenacious of its rights,
and has been known to enforce them
against hereditary mois or kings
whose genealogy was not oquivocal,
and who traced their descent through
tabu chiefs from the remotest an
tiquity. Fernandez in his "Poly.
nesian Races" gives one notable
illustration on the island of Oahu,
time 1878, just ia years ago.
Page 29O, Vol. III, the following
"Kumahana followed his father
as Moi of Oahu. He appears to
have been an indolent, penurious,
unloveable chief, and for these and
other reasons incurred the illwill
and estranged the loyalty OF chiefs,
